Quinoa and Apple Salad with Curry Dressing

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in the oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop the nuts.

   Step 2

   Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve; drain. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa; return to a boil. Stir the quinoa, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until the quinoa is tender but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork; let cool.

   Step 3

   Whisk together the honey, shallot, curry powder, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Add the quinoa, currants, apple, mint, and nuts; toss well. Garnish with mint.
